Description

The OGG is where Ricky Evans lets his hair down. It is a shape-shifting blend from the Tamar Valley that changes every year depending on what the season throws at him. For 2025, it is a mash-up of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay sourced from the Waverly and Highclare vineyards.

This is proper "skinsy" white wine. Ricky co-fermented the Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay, leaving them on skins for a solid three to four weeks to extract all that spice and phenolic structure. The Pinot Gris came in a bit later and saw just a week on skins before the whole lot was pressed to tank. It spent three months sitting on light lees to build texture before bottling.

It has a gorgeous golden glow. It is wildly aromatic, throwing out notes of citrus peel, fresh ginger and ripe stone fruit. The palate has a gentle, savoury grip from the skin contact, but it stays juicy and approachable. It is textural, spicy and dangerously easy to drink.

This is a blend of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay from a couple blocks around the Waverly and Highclare Estates. The blend changes each year depending on what the season brings, “it’s a lot of fun to make” Ricky says.

The Gewurz and Chardonnay cofermented before macerating on skins for three to four weeks. The Gris, which came in a bit later, only saw a week on skins. Both parcels were then pressed to tank and racked off heavy lees. They stayed on light lees for three months to build texture and freshness before bottling.

Woodlawn Tasmania

Woodlawn Tasmania is the umbrella under which Ricky Evans' three wine labels coalesce.

His three labels include the regional Two Tonne Tasmania series of Tamar Valley Riesling, Chardonnay and sub-regional Pinot Noirs, the experimental series of wines under the Havilah label made for his wine bar in Launceston of the same name and his Single Vineyard range of exceptional premium wines from his beloved Tamar Valley vineyards farmed by Ricky himself.

Evans is one of Tasmania's most dynamic winemakers. Over his time since serendipitously starting the Two Tonne Tasmania label in 2013, Ricky's approach to both farming grapes and making wine has matured dramatically. The young gun is now an established player in the upper echelon of the island and is set to be one of Tasmania's most influential voices in wine for many years to come.
